The comprehensive care minimising harm model guides clinicians and health workers to assess a patient’s individual risk factors and plan care. Models are available to support delivery of care in both the inpatient and community setting.
Both models share the same principles:
- partner with patients, carers, and families to enable shared decision-making
- deliver care through a multidisciplinary approach
- communicate and coordinate care effectively
- recognise and respond to individuals’ goals, preferences, and care needs.
Hospital and healthcare model
The hospital and healthcare model supports staff providing care in hospital settings.
Community model
The community model supports staff providing care in community settings. We're developing additional guidance and resources to support implementation. Check back soon for the community model infographic and related resources.
How each model works
Each model has two parts that work together:
- Domains of care: practical guidance to assess risk and develop individualised care plans.
- Building blocks for safe care: the communication processes that create conditions for safe care.
